No economic benefit of this decision just it will add burden on poor employees of banks as 52 working days increase in an year.

Utter example of ugly decision makers, not considering the fact that it does neither add value nor productivity at both the institution and individual level. Instead, just another cost burden.

I have heard about banks that are taking 12 hours of work from employees for the payment of just 8 hours only.
